Powder Coating

Powder coating is achieved by the electrostatic application of a dry, fine particulate powder that is then cured to form a strong continuous film. Powder coating is typically used when increased corrosion or wear resistance is required, but may also be used for a wide range of applications.

Wet Paint

Wet painting is the conventional method of applying a liquid paint to a surface, most commonly achieved through spraying. Coatings applied with wet paint tend to be thinner than for powder coating, but they are capable of producing ultra-high quality finishes.

Chemical Processing

Chemical processing provides the ability to improve the corrosion resistance of a metal by allowing the controlled formation of an inert surface film that inhibits further oxidation or chemical attack. Such finishes may provide a high level of aesthetic quality and be left uncoated.

Bright Dip, Matte Finish, Optical Matte Finish

Perfection Industrial Finishing has recently added 3 new chemical processes that are applied prior to anodizing to change the appearance of the final product.

To remove machine marks and light scratches, a "Bright Dip" prior to anodizing will achieve a polished finish. The critical holes and geometries are plugged or masked to preserve the dimensions.Instead of hand polishing parts with Scotch Brite, a quick 2 minute chemical process will achieve superior results.Read more ...

Article from the Workforce Investment Board - 2011 Annual Report.

Perfection Industrial Finishing provides metal finishing services throughout the Southwest. The company at Park Avenue and Ajo Way is locally owned and operated. Its customers include military/aerospace companies.

A quality system that encompassed all of Perfection Industrial Finishing's processes and procedures was necessary to attract new high- technology customers locally and nationally.

AS9100/ISO9001 represents an international quality standard recognized by both commercial and military/aerospace customers.

Company President Charles Zinke faced a challenge: How could the company improve its competitive edge by attracting new customers that required a demonstrable Quality Management System before issuing contracts for metal finishing services such as Powder Coating, Conventional Painting, Mil Spec Painting, Chem-Film, and Anodizing?

Through Pima County's WIRED Grant program and with the help of Pima County One-Stop's Evelyn Wright, Perfection Industrial Finishing was able to gain certification in AS9100/ISO9001 on Nov. 9, 2010.

Perfection Industrial Finishing's leadership worked with Pima County and Pima Community College to run in-house training on the newly implemented Quality Management System for 30 employees.

This activity was essential for the successful quality certification! Perfection Industrial Finishing has secured ~ several new high- technology customers as a direct result of AS9100/ ISO9001 certification, and the company is on-track to double its sales revenue relative to the previous year.

AS9100 is an internationally recognized quality standard that includes all of the components of IS9001 as well as additional requirements that apply specifically to the aerospace industry. These comprehensive requirements are focused on areas that directly affect the quality, reliability and safety of aerospace products.

Companies that seek AS9100 certification strive to exceed regulatory and customer requirements, seek and apply excellence in management practices to improve performance, track and communicate their progress, and partner with independent auditors to enhance and certify their management systems.

Perfection Industrial Finishing has made a substantial commitment of time and resources to pursue and maintain its AS9100 certification. It is a tangible expression of our commitment to quality that is understood and recognized throughout the world, and provides objective proof that we have implemented an effective quality management system. Perry Johnson Registrars is a accredited organization that has reviewed our quality manual and other documentation to ensure that they meet the standard, and has audited our processes to ensure that the quality management system described in the documentation is in place and is effective.

Certification to the AS9100 standard provides many benefits, including:

Emphasis on best practices in the aerospace industry

Well defined and documented processes

Continual improvement through the constant measurement of quality

Greater employee awareness of quality

Reductions in defects and reworks through the use of appropriate corrective/preventive actions

Reduced costs through improved product reliability and production efficiency
